Ultimate Fighter Expresses His Artistic Side While Donning a Speedo

I never thought I'd find myself watching an Ultimate Fighting reality show, but I happen to be hooked on one right now. I believe I've only missed one episode so far. It doesn't sound up your alley? Maybe you'd change your mind after you heard the incredibly simple but effective concept:

Two teams of pugilists all live under one roof together with no booze, no women, and no television, and then two of them fight at the end of each week. That's it.

There is one guy from Chicago who wears a speedo around the house, brings his pimp hat and pimp chalice wherever he goes, and decorates the house with his half-assed, found items, modern art sculptures. He also intended on making a raft out of hundreds of empty water bottles, but only got as far as throwing them all into the swimming pool. The other guys took all the bottles out and bitched him out about messing up the pool, so he threw all the bottles back in and never made the raft. He is totally annoying, but he's from Chicago, so he's my boy.

No booze, no women, no TV, and an annoying wanna-be-pimp-daddy makes a fighter go something, something . . . *

What show do you secretly love? Don't be ashamed. You're among friends.

* If you don't know what this line is in reference to then I may have to retract the line about you being among friends.

A pimp chalice? Speedos? Blood unleashed this way and that way? I may have found the show to occupy my time on a Thursday night.

Regarding guilty pleasure shows, I would have to say that Gilmore Girls is one of them for me. Now, recently it's been a bit lackluster, but give me a good season one through three and I will find the time to waste away a good day watching a full season.

And really, whatever happened to the good ol' days when we could watch American Gladiators, GLOW, and Roller Games in one fell swoop? Now that was reality tv gold in its infancy.

Classy: American Gladiators was the shiznit! I loved the rings event when the gladiator girl would wrap her legs around the other girl and writhe around trying to pull her down. Now if the Gilmore Girls did a little more of that I might come around.

Steph: I found myself watching entire episodes of The OC when my roomies watched it. Wait, terrible? Perhaps you should read that post again. Maybe you missed some awesomeness.

Laura: I have to catch an episode of that to see how Gene and Skinimax movie queen Shannon Tweed live.

Cherry: PROPER! You ARE bringing that back with a vengeance! Wait, you don't trust me to make you a pimp chalice? I'm hurt.
